With the biggest action RPG of the new year a week away, Player Affinity examines whether or not the recent demo did more harm than good for Kingdoms of Amalur.

The demo of Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning begins by letting you see the death of your character. Luckily, you are the first person ever to be revived in the Well of Souls and thus Kingdoms sets up both a tale of vengeance and gives your character a clean slate. When the Well resurrected you, the weave of fate left you without a destiny which creates a dynamic where the protaginist of Kingdoms is the only one in the world who can carve out their own destiny. This plays a role in the class system as, at regular intervals, you can swap your "fate card" in order to have a certain class such as rogue, warrior, or mage.
